Tucked away on a quiet street in Murray Hill, Ahimsa was a pleasant surprise in food and atmosphere. We’re not vegetarians and there were so many things we wanted to try. Great for gluten free diets. We had a bottle of wine, samosas, onion pakoras, alu gobi, naan bread and an enormous dosa filled with a delicious mushroom, potato and onion filling. The staff were so nice and accommodating!

The vada was not soaked upfront in hot water (or sambar) that can percolate and keep it moist. One a positive note, the vada is flavourful with chilli and pepper. The vadas are big and

Super delicious vegan curries, dosa, and hakka noodles. We especially liked the mushroom curry and hakka noodles. The drinks were also great and unique. Only thing is that the "fresh-squeezed orange juice" was not fresh-squeezed, but they took it back when my friend gave them feedback. Also note that the credit card fee is 3%, so bring cash if you want to save on that.
